VETERANS SHAKING HANDS.
Some Queer "reminiscences of the War Re
called


called
Washington (Ga) Chronicle.
About two weeks ago Squire John 2.
Adams saw in The Christian Index the
name Rev. Y. II. Lawrence as being pas
tor of Baptist church in Morgan county.
Mr.. A. sent him postal, asking if he had
not been a member of 0glethorpe com
pany A. Esd Georgia regiment in 1923.
Mr.. Lawrence replies in long letter,
saying that he is the very man, and then
he gives an account of himself from
Chattanooga to Atlanta, thence to Nash
vile under Hood, and the awful journey
home. Lastly, Mr.. Lawrence gives this
incident, which he and his comrades will
remember to their dying day;
Il thought you dead long ago, or |
would have hunted you up; but, living CIR
dead, I've thought of you for twenty
years. Do you remember the bible you
gave me- one just to fit my side pocket!
1t went through many battles with me;
but at ksnnssaw mountain that bible
saved my life. A bullet bit me in my
left side, going through my coat and
shirt, then into my bible, stopping at
the 52d chapter, 9TH verse, of Isaiah. l
still have the book with the ball resting
where it stopped. And so, God bless you,
old friend, now and evermore. I'VE hear
these old veterans are going to have an
annual reunion, all by themselyes.)
While dotting down this delightful re-
miniscence of war times we caught this
other anecdote in the same way:
Our worthy squire was reading his let
ter Gus: taken from the post, for the
of pntbar old Dulathnrna spIIfar
who lives in this town, Mr.. Sol Foreman,
as gallant soldier as ever fired mus
ket, when his young clerks near by (who
always managed to give a nickel each
year to convert the heathen) asked what
does the seventh verse of Isaiah say The
squire answered: II do not know;
haven't bible, meaning then and there.
The boys didn't so understand him. When
he left the store the boys began to take
up collection of nickles to buy a bible
for the squire. He never heard how near
success they came; but before they did
succeed the irate justice heard of the
move in his behalf, and going at once TO
the clerks he proposed to knock their
heads together on the Jerry Cruncher
plan, with some slight improvements.
On reflection, however, both parties
agreed on a com promise, the clerks
agreed to answer three questions or to
apologize. Then up steps the boss him
self as pious and as well-read in scrip
lures as his clerks. He pats his boys on
the head and says: an tell 'em all they
don't know"
SWELL" says the squire, first, who WAS
the father of Zebedee's children" The
hOss knits his brow the clerks scratch
their heads, but no answer. Second,
why didn't so rich a man as Job own but
one turkeyr" Distress among the boss
and clerks. "Third, how poor was Jobs
turksy?" Here the boys and boss col
lapse and beg for mercy, the latter treat
ing to a nickel cigar, the former promis-
ing to double their annual subscription
to the heather, while the squire walks off,
wondering how long it will be before q
Washington man gets away with him.
